Dennis the Menace

Dennis Mitchell is a precocious but lovable, freckle-faced five-and-a-half-year-old boy with a famous blond cowlick and a penchant for mischief.

His long-suffering parents can only shake their heads and try to explain their son's antics to others.

Despite this, they really do love him very much.

Dennis' wide-eyed curiosity, his well-meaning attempts to help, his innocent, matter-of-fact bluntness, his youthful energy and enthusiastic nature always seem to lead to trouble wherever he goes (most often at Mr. Wilson's expense).

He wears a blue/black striped shirt, tennis shoes, and red overalls with pockets that are sometimes filled with snakes, frogs, or his slingshot.

He hates carrots and baths, loves root beer, ketchup, water pistols, his teddy bear "Teddy", getting into fights with other boys his age, mud puddles and TV Westerns (especially those starring Cowboy Bob), and has occasionally been depicted wearing a cowboy costume.

Dennis has both a poster and an autograph picture of Cowboy Bob as well!

In fact he is such a fan that once a week he goes to the local theater to watch a Cowboy Bob western.

A favorite TV show of Dennis is "Uncle Earl."

Among the running gags: Dennis has a soft spot for kittens and puppies which he is always taking home to feed; Dennis loves loud instruments-such as horns and drums!

Dennis ruining Xmas songs with shouts of Cowboy songs or making Adults nervous by shouting out loud!

Whenever Dennis is in the local Department store trying out toys such as tricycles he ends up breaking them and his parents having to buy them!

In fact Dennis nearly causes kindergarten teachers; department store Christmas Santas; saleswomen; shoe salesmen, barbers and the local post office workers to have nervous breakdowns when he comes around!.

Dennis also believes in the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus; in fact a running gag is Dennis on Christmas Eve dreaming he meets Santa Claus and causing chaos for everyone else!
